 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 6 Adrenal CT examination methods The physiological function of adrenal Although it is an adrenal gland, but the cortex and medulla from the embryonic development, cell composition, hormones and the regulation mechanism is two separate glands, its physiological function, primarily through its secretion of hormones or media play a role. adrenal steroid hormones belong to, are more hydrogen Philippine cyclopentane-based, four rings linked. these include the ball with the secretion of hormones of 11 - deoxy corticosterone mineralocorticoid represented by the bundle with the secretion of hydrocortisone and cortisone in as the representative of glucocorticoid secretion by the mesh with androgen and estrogen hormone represented. mineralocorticoid main role is to regulate water and electrolyte balance, with a strong row of potassium sodium reservoir, the main effect of glucocorticoids is to regulate glucose, protein, fat metabolism, fat mobilization, promotion of protein degradation, gluconeogenesis and so on. adrenal hormone secretion in small amounts, but it has significant physiological effects . male sex organ development and male hormones to promote the development of the second feature involved in metabolism of protein synthesis, fat catabolism, estrogen not only has the promotion and maintenance of female reproductive organs and the physiological role of secondary sexual characteristics, for metabolism, endocrine network like endothelial system, cardiovascular system, bone growth and maturation, skin and other areas also have a significant impact. adrenal medulla secretion of epinephrine, norepinephrine childhood to the main adult Zeyi adrenaline-based, and its secretion by sympathetic and ACTH and glucocorticoid regulation, the main role is to maintain vascular tone and blood pressure. Second CT examination methods And upper abdominal CT inspection methods similar to other organs. 20 ~ 30min before the examination of oral 1% t
